Profligate Angel — Greg Smith

$18.00

In Gregory Smith’s debut poetry collection Profligate Angel, They nimbly chart a course between, and through, a gauntlet of memories involving religious trauma, forced isolation from friends and family, and addiction, to arrive at a profound and humbling moment of gratitude. 

Profligate Angel, while having the courage to not pretend to have the answer, invites you to ask the question “where do you go when paradise is not lost, but stolen?”

Greg Smith is drinking wine right now. They are a Queer, working-class poet, a member of the American Postal Workers Union and an Apostate Jehovahs Witness. They are the 2018 Slam Free or Die Indie Champion, and their work has been published in The Peoples Book and on NHPR.com. You can catch them still not finished solving their face-turning rhombic dodecahedron puzzle, sharing kandi bracelets with Metalheads or backswinging at a warehouse rave. They're an Aries and therefore are here to spit fire and truth, no matter the cost.
